Patent EP-3205972-A1 (EP)
Inventor: ELL TODD
IPC: F41G7/00
Filed: 2017-02-08
Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to using a metasurface optical lens (38) to split a narrow-band portion of the multichromatic light passing through an optical lens stack (36). The optical lens stack (36) is aligned along an optical axis and is configured to focus multichromatic light passing therethrough onto a target imaging region of a focal plane array (30), thereby forming a multichromatic image of a scene aligned with the optical axis. The metasurface optical lens (38) directs the split-off narrow-band portion of the multichromatic light to a laser designator imaging region of the focal plane array (30), thereby forming a narrow-band image of the scene aligned with the optical axis. Use of a metasurface optical lens (38) within the optical lens stack provides the creation of two images corresponding to two non-overlapping frequency bands of light to be formed using one optical lens stack (36).

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer program products using spectrum analysis or cross correlation techniques to discriminate against interference. These approaches are straight forward if both the forward and reflected signals contain complex or quadrature (I and Q) samples. But, if only single axis samples are available as is often the case to reduce the sampling rate, the resulting samples could represent the I component, the Q component or, more likely, some combination of the two. This generally requires some type of time alignment procedure to ensure proper phase. Assuming that the transmitted signal exists in complex form, this signal can be mathematically rotated in phase and then single axis sampled for comparison against the single axis reflected signal. If the rotation is done over equally spaced intervals that spans one complete cycle, the average of the absolute value all such return loss ratios will approach the actual return loss ratio and the interference will be suppressed. The resultant can be compared to a threshold value and trigger an alarm.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a carbon dioxide separating and collecting system includes an absorbing tower to cause an absorbing liquid to absorb carbon dioxide, and discharge a rich liquid. The system includes a regenerating tower to cause the absorbing liquid to release the carbon dioxide, and discharge a lean liquid. The system includes a heat exchanger to heat the rich liquid by using the lean liquid. A discharge port of the rich liquid of the exchanger is at a higher position than a supply port of the rich liquid of the regenerating tower so that the rich liquid discharged from the exchanger contains a descending flow by which liquid head pressure loss in a path from the discharge port to the supply port becomes negative, and an absolute value of the liquid head pressure loss becomes larger than an absolute value of flow friction pressure loss in the path.

Abstract: There is provided a method performed in a system comprising a video camera and a client device. The video camera captures a plurality of images concurrently by using a plurality of image sensors having partly overlapping fields of views. Overlapping portions of the images are identified, and the images are joined to generate a panorama image. When joining the images, image data is included from only one of the images in overlapping portions, and image data from the other images in the overlapping portions is ignored. The panorama image and the ignored image data is encoded and transmitted to the client device in an encoded video stream. The client device decodes the video stream and, if the client device is customized, it updates the panorama image in portions corresponding to overlapping portions of the plurality of images using the image data that was ignored by the video camera when generating the panorama image.

Abstract: Mikroplastikpartikel mit Abmessungen bis in den µm-Bereich treten zunehmend in allen Gewässern auf und sind eine nachzuweisende Gefahr für Mensch und Umwelt. Die bekannten Separatoren zu ihrer Extraktion arbeiten entweder nach dem Auftriebsprinzip oder nach dem Flotationsprinzip. In beiden Fällen werden flüssigkeitsbewegende Mittel eingesetzt, die die zu extrahierenden Mikroplastikpartikel schädigen können. Der erfindungsgemäße Separator (01) ist auch dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass er ein Trennrohr (05) einsetzt, in dem keine flüssigkeitsbewegenden Mittel vorgesehen sind. Durch Vorsehen eines Flüssigkeitsein- und -auslasses (03, 04) am Basisblock (02) können Spülvorgänge des Sedimentes (27) im Trennrohr (05) durchgeführt werden, ohne dass das Sediment (27) und die enthalten Mikroplastikpartikel (31) aus dem Trennrohr (05) herausgespült werden. Das zylindrische Trennrohr (05) weist eine lange Trennstrecke (14) bei geringem Volumen und damit geringem Flüssigkeitseinsatz auf. Es kann einfach befüllt und entleert werden. Die Mikroplastikpartikel (31) werden mit einer sehr hohen Effizienz in einer abschließ- und demontierbaren Mikroplastikpartikelsammeleinheit (20) gesammelt und können anschließend einer Analyse zur Verfügung gestellt werden.
